There has to be a way to accommodate Forrest getting in and out. I think a ramp is the best way, but maybe a catapult might work. But we don't want to get him in without a good way to get out.

Like I said...Walmart does have its percs.

Us xpress has a Walmart Dedicated Out if my hometown. I’m gonna call them Monday and see about that. A ramp would be easy 😂😂

OK I apologize if this post comes off as insensitive or anything, that's not my intention, I'm just curious and genuinely confused about something:

What are the handicap truck parking spaces at truck stops for?

I just don't understand how you can be handicapped and still pass a DOT physical and be able to perform all the required job duties of truckers.

Am I missing something here?

I’m disabled and have a 2 year DOT card. I’m missing a leg and passed my physical yesterday

I am so much more comfortable on crutches. Prosthetics are very hard to deal with

Thank you old school! I believe I saw his story on YouTube. It would be great because they have a dedicated out of my hometown for Walmart

Is us xpress completely automatics? I’m running into the problem of companies having automatics but the final driving test being done with manuals.

If I could get cleared to drive without a prosthetic that would be amazing and so much more comfortable.

I would go to a Lowe’s or Home Depot and check out some metal and plastic 3 step stools that fold up. This can easily be stowed on the catwalk with bungee cords, or behind the passenger seat, out of the way until needed.

the toughest part is actually climbing with a prosthetic on. The leg that I wear does not bend at all

Forrest, you are an interesting story. You have my utmost respect, sir. We used to joke in training that one of the great advantages of an auto was we could still drive if we lost our left leg. But what you are doing is no joke. You are a seriously determined man.

BTW, you could always carry a small ladder with you for getting in and out of trailers. Many of the flat-bedders carry one.

Thank you! I am determined to drive a big truck again. I have thought about bringing a ladder with me. I’ve gone through many many scenarios in my mind. If I could just get started it would be so much easier with on the job training. I could figure out different ways of doing things that makes it easier for me.

I saw that KLLM offers a refresher. I just know that CFI is a great company and I’m having a hard time not going with them as my first choice 😩😩😩
